Ronald Koeman has ruled himself out of becoming Holland boss, claiming he is fully committed to Everton .

Koeman has been linked with the post vacated by Dick Advocaat in the wake of Holland’s failure to qualify for the World Cup Finals .

But the Dutch legend insists his focus is on trying to pull Everton out of their slump.

“I’m not surprised they put my name in because they did the same some years ago,” said the Blues boss.

“But I am Everton manager. That’s the most important thing. In the future? It’s not realistic now. We have other business to do with Everton. We need to change our situation in the table. That’s the priority for the long term.”

Koeman also revealed that James McCarthy should be available for next weekend’s clash with Arsenal because he has recovered from his hamstring.

The midfielder, who went away with the Republic of Ireland , but did not play, will feature for the Under-23s on Tuesday to build up his match fitness and Koeman is glad to have him back.
